9 Things You Should Only Do if You Love Someone Truly
1. Let Them Know
Most people tend to hide their love rather than expressing it because usually they are scared of how the other party might react to this confession. This is exactly where they all go wrong, love is not something that should be contained and in fact should be let out of our system in hopes of affirmations and joyous times to come with the person we are in love with. The moment we get scared and decide to suppress our love is the very moment we become unfair to ourselves and take on way too much emotionally. Therefore, if you love someone then don’t hesitate, don’t let them go to someone else and just tell them that you love them!
2. Don’t Be Abrasive Or Rude
Never be possessive or demanding in love. Personal space is of the highest importance when it comes to interpersonal relationships. To get your loved one’s attention, you have to cross the imaginary line and become clingy and interested in their life at all times. Because you’ve crossed those boundaries, they’ve become irritated. Taking an interest in their life is important, but not at the expense of not interfering with their activities. Maintaining your balance is an important skill to learn.
3. Be yourself
In a relationship your first aim should be to be your true self. Let the other person fall in love with you and not someone you’re trying so hard to be and when they fall in love with the real you is exactly when you know that this love and this relation that you are in is all real! Let them see you without make up or with flu and a runny nose or when you’re anxious and you’re tired so that they fall for the real you.
4. Let it be natural
You don’t have to force yourself to fall in love with someone, you don’t constantly have to think about the pros and cons of being with that specific person and most importantly you don’t have to think about other possible and potential people. The moment you start to ask yourself such questions is the moment that you should realize that this is all not coming naturally. Let yourself love someone naturally, you shouldn’t be forced into it and your thoughts should revolve around them and not around the premise that whether they are even meant for you or not.
5. Friendship is key
When we talk about romantic relationships and the importance of friendship, we’re not saying that you have to be friends with someone before you can love them. While this may seem like a dream situation in principle, it’s not often that simple in practice. Befriending someone in a relationship requires you to have fun with them, play jokes on them, and have fun together. This will ensure that you are comfortable even when things go rough since you know that your friendship with your partner will not change.
6. Commitment
When one of you or your partner cheats on the other person in the relationship, you’ll know that you’re not meant to be together. As a result, if you’re in a committed relationship, you should know how to keep it that way. You can’t hold your partner responsible for this until they’re persistent, and the same goes for you. All humans, including those of both sexes who live in today’s society, will encounter someone of the opposite sex at some point in their daily lives. Keep in mind that if your spouse truly cares about you, they won’t consider the notion of spending time with anybody else. Make every effort to avoid getting into these types of predicaments.
7. Give love
You need to give love and not just take love. Don’t wait to tell your partner you love him or her when they’ve done something special for you, when they buy you something, when they do a task you had left or so on and so forth. Show random bouts of love to them and don’t expect returns for those random bouts of love. Let them love naturally and teach yourself to love naturally as well. If they make mistakes don’t hold it against them and rather talk it out. Learn to give love and then expect it in return.
8. Express Your Feelings Of Affection
Never wait until your significant other has done something kind for you, like giving you present or running errands for you, before telling them you love them. The same goes for any of the other instances listed above. No matter how little you get back from them, you should still show love,e while you’re showing them affection. It’s best if you don’t interfere with the way they love, and you focus on learning how to do it yourself. Have a talk with them about their mistakes instead of becoming angry with them if they do. Learn to give love before you can receive it.
9. Everyone has flaws
Whilst your unconditional love might deceive you to believe that your partner is the epitome of perfection, just know that this premise comes from your heart and not your mind. Like every human being the love of your life will make mistakes and stupid ones at times but learn to talk it out with them rather than brutally reacting. Talk it out, see their perspective and then make a decision. Don’t expect perfection.
